Clinically-Proven Benefits of Phosphatidylserine

Research shows an increase in phosphatidylserine may help improve children’s learning abilities and behavior.

Phosphatidylserine supplementation restores activity of phosphatidylserine in
brain cell membranes, the chemical interaction and transfer of electrical impulses between
neurons
at both the sending and receiving ends. This means, new information can more easily carve a new pattern and
memories are reinvigorated. (209)

Dietary intake of phosphatidylserine is essential because your body cannot synthesize
the fatty molecule de novo.

Why Isn't Diet Enough?

ABOVE: Changes in our Western diet have resulted in a significant decrease in phosphatidylserine consumption in recent years, including rejection of fat, innards, organ meats and poultry skin (e.g., low-fat, low-cholesterol, and reduced-meat diets). (135)

Dietary Undersupply

Modern Diets: Modern low-fat and low-cholesterol diets lack up to 150 mg per day of
dietary phosphatidylserine. A vegetarian diet may undersupply as much as 200 to 250 mg per day. Other eating
styles also create a demand for more phosphatidylserine. For example, a diet deficient in omega-3 fatty
acids may reduce the amount of phosphatidylserine in the brain by 28% and thereby impair your brain’s
ability to form, store, process and remember. (135)

Modern Food Production: To make matters worse, modern industrial production of fats and
oils decreases all of the natural phospholipids—including phosphatidylserine. (135)

Stress and Aging

Stress: Like burning a candle burning at both ends, stress increases the demand for
phosphatidylserine and depletes your phosphatidylserine levels at the same time. (128-133)

Aging: The elderly particularly benefit from taking phosphatidylserine. While aging
increases our brain’s need for phosphatidylserine it also creates digestive and metabolic inefficiency so
that it’s simply not possible to get enough phosphatidylserine in diet. Considerable research proves
that phosphatidylserine improves age-associated memory impairment and continued use prevents age-related
decay of brain functions. (126, 168)

How Does Phosphatidylserine Work?

Restores Neurotransmitters—Activity, Supply and Output

Phosphatidylserine enables your brain cells to metabolize glucose and to release and bind with
neurotransmitters, all of which is important to learning, memory and other cognitive functions. (127)

Phosphatidylserine increases communication between brain cells by increasing the number of membrane
receptor sites for receiving messages. Phosphatidylserine modulates the fluidity of cell membranes—essential
to your brain cells' ability to send and receive chemical communication. (14)

Phosphatidylserine in Flavay Plus® replenishes ChAT-positive cells, thereby promoting the synthesis and release of acetylcholine— neurotransmitter essential to memory, cognition, sleep and neuromuscular control. Acetylcholine decline coincides with advancing age and is a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease. (127,330)

Restores Supply and Output of Acetylcholine

Phosphatidylserine (PS) in Flavay Plus® restores the availability of endogenous choline for de novo synthesis and release, (128-131) while similar use of phosphatidylcholine (PC) had no effect. (132)

Studies demonstrate phosphatidylserine restores the brain’s supply and output of
acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter important to memory, and so may
turn back the clock in an aging brain. (126, 127, 168)

Phosphatidylserine restores acetylcholine release by maintaining an adequate acetylcholine supply. Phosphatidylserine can increase the availability of endogenous choline for de novo synthesis and release (128-131), while similar use of phosphatidylcholine (PC) had no effect. (132)

Stimulates Brain Dopamine

(PS) in Flavay Plus® restores your brain’s supply and output of dopamine—essential to memory, attention and problem-solving. Dopamine is also associated to the sense-of well-being, reward-behavior,
mood and bodily coordination.(128-133,331,332)

Phosphatidylserine restores dopamine release and benefits glutamatergic neurotransmission. Dopaminergic, glutamatergic and cholinergic neurotransmission play an important role in learning, memory and other cognitive functions. (133,299)

Persons diagnosed with clinical depression have shown marked improvement in their symptoms as a result of taking phosphatidylserine daily and this is likely connected to the finding that phosphatidylserine restores dopamine release. Reduced dopamine levels are also thought to contribute to attention deficit disorder and this natural substance has proven to be
an effective therapeutic agent for ADD and ADHD.(114, 128-133)

Increase Endurance and Time to Exhaustion

(PS) in Flavay Plus® can significantly increase time to exhaustion in cycling. (258)

A double-blind, placebo controlled study using 14 healthy and trained male athletes underwent cycling exercise prior to and following the supplementation period. Endurance was measured using a cycle ergometer at 85% VO2 max. After ten days, the group taking phosphatidylserine experienced about 30% more time before exhaustion, while the placebo group experienced no change. (258)

Phosphatidylserine is Important To Every Cell in Your Body

Phosphatidylserine is found in every cell in your body and the membrane proteins it activates are important in all your cells. Research shows phosphatidylserine is important to:

bone matrix formation,

testicular function,

beat coordination of the heart,

hormone secretion by the adrenal glands,

cell repair and removal by the immune system.(111,112)

Phosphatidylserine is necessary for transmission of information between your brain cells. (111,112)

Turn Back Brain-Aging with Phosphatidylserine

Human clinical studies show phosphatidylserine may assist against the symptoms of dementia and
Age-Associated Memory Impairment (AAMI), also in reducing the risk of dementia and cognitive
dysfunction.

Flavay Plus® (4 per day) for 12 weeks may result in reversal of brain-aging by nearly 14 years. (168, 126)

A reversal of brain-aging of nearly 14 years was shown after 12 weeks of
supplementation with 300 mg per day of phosphatidylserine. Improvements were found in
learning and remembering written information, remembering names and recognizing people, and memory of
numbers. (168)

Children and young adults also get results in maintaining a sharp mind and controlling stress. Studies show
students experience improved learning abilities and performance. Placebo-controlled and double-blind trials
show that young university students experience significantly less stress from tests, stay
more clear-headed and composed, and keep a more stable mood when taking phosphatidylserine. (125)

What is Phosphatidylserine?

Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid (a fatty molecule) which contains both amino and fatty acids.

Phosphatidylserine is a fatty molecule and includes amino and fatty acids such as
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Phosphatidylserine is found in every human cell and is universally present in living things from the most
simple
to the most complex. Phosphatidylserine has many known functions throughout all our tissues and organs, and
most importantly, our brain.

Decades of research have established phosphatidylserine (derived from soy lecithin*) as the best single
means for conserving memory and other
higher brain functions. Findings from controlled clinical trials show when intake of
phosphatidylserine is doubled, or better still quadrupled, as a dietary supplement, the majority of persons
derive measurable brain benefits. (211, 110)

Phosphatidylserine supplementation is shown to improve a large number
of cognitive functions, including memory, learning and attention, and reduction of stress.

Phosphatidylserine is found mainly in the inner part of cell membranes where it acts as a signaling molecule
and is involved in a number of enzymatic functions. While most tissues are no more than 3% phosphatidylserine,
your brain and nerve cells are highly enriched with phosphatidlyserine, up to 18%. Nerve cells depend on
phosphatidylserine for normal neuro-transmitter metabolism and nerve signal transmission. Maintaining brain
levels of phosphatidylserine is associated to normal and efficient signal transduction processes, efficient
glucose metabolism and healthy cognitive and mental functions. (291,336,337)

Phosphorylated vs. Phosphatidyl

A phosphorylated serine is available as a dietary supplement but does not substitute for
phosphatidyl serine (PS), despite the claims of its
manufacturer. Though it resembles the head piece, phosphorylated serine is
different—it is not a phospholipid and does not work like PS does.

Phosphatidylerine’s tails of amino and fatty acids, the extra negative
charge on its head piece and unique conformation are essential to its specific actions.
